Default Soyuz TMA-10 launch


I noticed a new camera angle at the Soyuz flame pit,
from the side of the pit, seeing the launch apron
almost eye level. As the booster lifted from its
support points, a bit down in the hole, the flame light
streamed to both sides but at an angle of about 45 deg
because the light was 'below the rim' of the platform.
As it lifted off, in a matter of only a second or two,
you could see the shadow of the rim sweep down
the flame-lit fog until all shadow was driven away
by the flaming booster end emerging from the
launch position. Dramatic -- and eerie. Always
something new.
